Franck Ribéry was a mercurial French winger whose dribbling, work rate and delivery made him one of the most influential attackers of his era. After emerging at Marseille, he moved to Bayern Munich and became a defining figure of a dominant period for the Bavarian club.
At Bayern he won a long list of Bundesliga titles and, in 2013, the Champions League as part of a treble-winning side. A key figure in France’s run to the 2006 World Cup final, he wore the scars of a childhood accident as part of an unmistakable, uncompromising persona.
